Deep Dive Agroecology 2: Policies for agroecological transformation

Agroecological transitions cannot be sustained at scale through projects and local initiatives alone. Public policies shape the incentives, institutions and investment decisions that determine how food systems evolve. This being said, there is no single policy model for supporting agroecology.

This webinar will compare two particularly interesting approaches. In Africa, a growing number of countries are developing National Agroecology Strategies (NAS) to define national visions, priorities and actions. In Southeast Asia, ASEAN’s regional Guidelines on Agroecology Transitions promote mainstreaming agroecology across existing policies, institutions and investment frameworks. Drawing on country experiences, the webinar will explore the strengths, potential limitations and conditions for success of both approaches.
